I've said to people, if you feel it's wrong just being a reporter and you can't do enough, well it's time to become an aid worker and train to be someone who really knows what to do. No good standing around snapping a notebook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63595]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He does have that ability (intimidation).

He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible that God should ever be the end, if He is not the beginning.
